Time To Move Doomsday Clock Forward?

It has been two years since the British reported, in the Mail Online, that the keepers of the "Doomsday Clock" would move it forward. It hadn't been moved for four years but the threat of atomic annihilation, at the time, was considered to be all the more imminent.


The clock which is based on a a metaphorical 'midnight of mass destruction' is an ongoing project of the "Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists" and has been moved forward and backward since it's inception in 1947.

Now, with what is and is not going on, we should ask that question again: Is it time to move the Doomsday Clock forward?

Consider a threat in Pakistan, a threatening North Korea, a double threat within Iran and Israel, as well as, atomically armed nations coming to the defense of their allies and you have the reasons (now more than ever) for it to be moved forward.

I am saying the Doomsday Clock should be one minute before midnight. Don't think so... then read for yourself and see if it doesn't appear apocalyptic.

Obama must not take his eye off of Pakistan. Obama must be strong with North Korea. Obama must meet with Netanyahu. The solutions, however simple as they appear, seem to be far from the mind of America's President.
